Burn Project time

[Ashtonian]

I just got a Pioneer DVD burner and projects to fill the DVD take about 4-6 hours.

This is normal right?

Generally, on my own machine, rendering an avi file takes as long as the actual movie duration.

 

A lot depends on your computer specs, but anything between 2 to 4 hours for a two hour movie would be normal.

 

Even Pixar with their computer 'farm' of multiple core, huge RAM machines admit that rendering is a real bottleneck

Thank You!

 

The same thing with 998 images on a slideshow presentation went on to 93% and was stuck there when I got up this morning. I ran it again before going to work but this time set sleep and standby to 'never'. I'll have to check when I get home.

 

While my computer is not new it's certainly not slow scoring 4.1 on that scale MS uses on their performance classifications.

A LOT depends on your graphics, then on the CPU and RAM really.

 

Sometimes (well I find it better) if you burn the render to the hard drive first (save it as a .iso image file) and then open that with Disc Copier it tends to stop the freeze.

 

The graphics can be the culprit here - make sure you have the latest drivers from the card makers site and also the latest DirectX 9.0c from MS
